Photorespiration is a process in plants that reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis, leading to less sugar production and slower growth. This can result in smaller plants due to the energy wasted. Therefore, all the options presented in the original question are correct consequences of photorespiration. ;
Photorespiration in plants results in less production of sugars, slower growth, and smaller sizes of plants. Therefore, the correct choice is A. all of these. This process occurs when RuBisCO interacts with oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, particularly in unfavorable conditions for photosynthesis.
